4/18 update
Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates. I am still running the transition nute ratios. About 3 weeks after flipping. I think I am going to flip over to the flowering ratios SD reccomends in the next few days.
How does she look???

She looks good Niwashi. Hit her with the flower nutes.

4/22 update
Flipped over to full flower nutes. I exhcanged aprox 25 gallons(tap) in the system and added the following nutes:
1/8 cup GH CaliMagic
1/4 cup GH Gro
1/2 cup GH Micro
3/4 cup GH Bloom
1/4 cup Advanced Nuterients Big Bud
1tbsp each part Flying Skull Z7 enzymes
PH is stable at about 6.1 and PPMs at 1115. I am going to wait until tomorrow to dial the PH to 5.8 as long as the PH doesn't go crazy, currently everything has been mixed for about 3 hours and no signs of burn or drooping on her.

That girl needed a bit of thinning. She is going to be hard to get light or air through to bottom.

Trimmed and spread!
The ladies are looking good. I have the King 1800W X6 Dimmable grow light, which draws 300W from the wall. I used it at full power in a 2'X 4' and got a yield of 0.47 gm/W or 141gm total from four plants. I was hoping for about 0.75 gm / W.
It's nice to see another here working at automating their grow. I just ordered some Arduino modules to control a DIY grow light. I'll work at automating feed/watering next for coco/perlite once I've got the light control done.

Thanks for the data points on your grow @Old Salt
Please let me know what you end up doing with the adurinos!
5/6 update
Plant is continuing to flower and is still running on the last batch of nutes. Buds are definitely forming and growing, but I'm wondering if I'm giving her the right things to grow.
Do you guys think I should up the PPM or change the ratio of nutrients? Currently I'm.sitting right around 1200ppm with a pH of 5.8

1200ppm is a pretty healthy dose, I wouldn't go any higher than that.
You could increase the Micro and Bloom a little, and cut the Gro out completely if you wanted to. I wouldn't fool around to much, she's looking pretty happy the way she is.

5/7 Update
Aprox 30 days into flower
Thanks SD! I added another 5 gal of water mixed with 1/4 cup of micro, bloom, and bigbud. When mixed into the res, brought me right to 1200ppm. Here are pics of how she looks about 24 hours after topping off.

5/19 update
Aprox 45 days into flower
Did a res change with 150ppm tap water, then added CaliMagic to 300ppm. Switch over to 2:3 ratio of micro:bloom up to 1300 ppm then added big bud up to 1600ppm on Wednesday. By last night, ppm had dropped to 1300ppm again, so I added in big bud to bring it back to 1550ppm. How's she looking??

It looks real good to me Niwashi. Shes frosting up very nicely and pistils are coloring up just right.

Thanks SD! PPM is back down to 1390 already. She's just sucking the big bud right out of it!!
How much longer do you think she will need to flower?
The smell is really getting strong. I already have a charcoal filter. Any other suggestions for odor elimination? I unfortunately don't have the luxury of an exterior vent.

Well, if you're 45 days into flower, I'd say at least another 15-20 days left. You'll need a jewelers loupe to check the trichomes on the calyx's for cloudy and amber content to know for sure.
I use this one that attaches to the camera lens on my phone. It was less than $10 on Amazon.

Thanks @Scrogdawg I'm going to order one up now! Either a loupe or a digital microscope. I hear it can be tough to see the trichs on the buds with the loupe.
Also, does anyone have a suggestion on how to mitigate smell? I can smell her outside
Here are some fresh pics from 5/20. Day 47 since flipping on 4/4.
